Chase charges a flat $8 fee to cash a check for non-customers when the check is drawn on a Chase account and exceeds $50, while Chase account holders pay no fee to cash checks at any branch.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This fee applies to payroll, government, and other checks issued from Chase accounts. Non-customers must present valid government-issued ID. Chase account holders can also deposit checks for free via mobile app or ATM to avoid branch visits entirely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
